what a great idea! I love it! I made a page on first things we did- looking back I think it was pretty crappy even though I was so excited about it at the time
My DD and I were just looking through some old scrap books recently. and *ouch* have I improver - maybe not nearly enough! This will be great to see everyone's old pages.
Now-about tonight - relax - just be you!

Oh! How fun! Congrats on the first date, we all can't WAIT to hear how it goes. Now, to find that first...awful...sb page! I can't believe you're making us share these! lol.
I remember thinking I did NOT want to start scrapbooking and then later thinking MAYBE I do want to try this and then thinking HOW do I even start?! And my two friends who scrapped, said, Just Start. Gee, thanks for all the help!!
The tiny bit of stamping on here is the SECOND stamp set that I ever owned. The first one I bought I hated and NEVER used and this one was a sunflower set from CTMH (back in the wood mounted CTMH days)
My first pages aren't too bad. However, after getting over my nervousness about my pages, I tried to get creative and made some REALLY REALLY UGLY pages. Happily, (for me for this challenge!) they were not my first, so I don't have to share those beauties! ugh!

Ok, so I'm pretty sure this is my first sb page ever! Ugh, I'm glad I've improved! lol. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. So here it is...The Arnold's.
I was a stamper before I was a scrapper, so my first pages aren't too different from what I do now.
I'm scanning them now... I'll get back to you. My first-ever scrapbook was pictures of my honeymoon.
I decided to become a demonstrator while I was starting this scrapbook. Now, every single stamp set and paper that I used in the book has been discontinued (as of June 30th). Sigh.
Uploading now.... I'll post links when they're up. I'm posting two spreads as my first and second pages (even though it's four pages, I did the pages of each spread together).

I had never scrapbooked anything ever, but when I got my honeymoon pics back I was debating becoming a demonstrator, so I decided to try scramping. I organized all my pictures and wrote out the journaling before I started the scrapbook, so I was abnormally well-prepared.
My journaling is a little less pretentious now because I don't plan it out so much. (This scrapbook tells a whole story if you read from start to finish. It's actually pretty fun, but I'm not going to upload everything. It would take forever.) I plan a lot less now when I scrap, which means I have some pretty random ideas sometimes. I think I have more fun. I still have about the same style, though, I just experiment more now.
